Fuck GamerGate. That is terrible that they're destroying people's lives.

even the propaganda piece in this thread did not blame gamergate evn though they tried to make the connection-  So maybe you should read the article 1st- then agan ignorance is bliss though right? 

 

having said that- if it was Gamergate that helped get her fired, God bless them-  no need for pedo supprters at Nintendo

So has anyone taken the time to read through the entire college essay? I just read through it and no where does she actually support child pornography.

Thank goodness they had the stones to get rid of her-  no idea what took them so long or how a family friednly co like Nintendo hired her in the 1st place-

That article read like a biased fan boy and upset over his faovorite gaming console getting dissed-  there really isn t much good gamer journalism anywere

That's the part that makes me scratch my head the hardest.  How the hell did Nintendo not vet her before hiring her considering the type of image NOA likes to maintain?

But she wasn't in PR.

Marketing, I think (at least that's what I've read, but you know, gaming journalism lol)? Okey, she's not a PR, but bad PR equals bad marketing.

Yes, bad press isn't good but it wasn't her job itself that she was bad at as LipeJJ stated.

Fair enough. But she really attracted bad press, which isn't in any case good for the company. Normally, I'd say they should defend the employee. But some sentences I've read from her are... disgusting. 



So she was branded as an SWJ turned to a pro-pedo and getting fired for something she did not do.

Wow! just wow...



Hmmm regarding gamergate i was following this situation over at KIA https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/ I saw one thread trying to get her fired but the general conscious was that it was kinda hypocritical to fire someone over opinions (witch is what gamergate fights against) but some may have taken it to further levels with tweets/emails.

Either way its a sticky situation and im sure Nintendos reasoning is bullshit also. Pedophilia is a sticky subject but firing people because of personal opinions is wrong too i think. if someone does this they need to seperate themselfs as much as possible from their workplace. Treehouse localization is also pretty shitty.

So what in your opinions did she do wrong?  Or are you both just accepting the theory she endorses pedophilia in the US?

heres a tweet saying shes pissed off about a 54 year old man being arredted for having Child Pornography   heres one http://archive.is/IEVz4 were she says she defends none cenership of it and another http://archive.is/Kt0PJ



lol so somebody gets fired from their job due to their own crappy PR performance and "it's not their fault". Sorry but if you are hired for a PR job you need to be good at PR.
Just scapegoating others for her own failures.
